Media chat with the overall best graduate of Bingham University Simtong Danung with 4.97 as CGP

Many may not know Simtong Danung David given his low key lifestyle. It is true that the people of Plateau state are down to earth and at the same time, hungry for academic excellence. I can personally attest to this fact after engaging the overall best graduate of Bingham university (2015) in a media chat. Simtong Danung graduated in Bingham University with a CGP that hit 4.97. A commendable feat indeed. He had a humble beginning, yet saw himself as a success by anyone’s standards. Simtong Danung did his secondary school at St. Benedict’s Seminary and convent Pankshin before proceeding to Bingham. He hails from Kagu in Pankshin Local Government. Today he’s living his dream as an ICT Engineer at the prestigious American University of Nigeria Yola, owned by an erstwhile Vice President of Nigeria Alh. Atiku Abubakar.
